[TheJasmineLilly]

Why is buzzfeed always purposely overflowing their cups???

[JimmyG]

How did they get a McDonalds hamburger from 1955? Time machines aren't real. Disliked and Unsubbed.

[Jawshoowuhh]

Fact: McDonald's did not first open in Des Plaines, Illinois. The very first McDonald's opened in San Bernardino, California

1:06: "What surprised you?"
Me: Well, the full drink that made a mess surprised me lol 😂👌

[yatosjumpsuit]

Kids in africa could have drank that spilled soda.

[TheMrspacenerd]

The thing that suprised me was the fucking size of the drinks. Wtf is wrong with you America?

[bottleofwater]

1955 : meat
2019: soy mixed with plastic

[philipofmacedonia]

1:01 when Mc Donalds employees are too hooked to mobiles.

[GINGERJMEZ]

your small and medium cups look like our medium and large cups (UK)

[ligma]

Back then it was quality meat, now who knows what's in them

[teirdalin]

What surprised you?:
The fact the person pouring the soda had a stroke mid-pouring of the large cup.

[ulfgkcr]

0:59 the coke spilling was so unsatisfaying

[nikollasnatsios]

I can't believe buzz feed has saved all that food for so long

[prime]

What surprised me is that you wasted food

[michaelhansen]

I love how they only match the biggest item at the time and not the same one especially considering not only have they shrunk but also switch from real ingredients to take as much as possible.

[HoldMySoda]

"What suprized you?
That the US still don't use the metric system. Almost nobody on this planet has the slightest idea how much an oz is.

[AlmondJoyyy]

It's so weird to think the first McDonalds opened like 15 minutes away from me...I literally pass it every day

[myusernamewastoolong]

What surprised me? the fact that you didn't stop pouring xD

[AaronsVlogTube]

1:06 what supriesed me is that a 1955 meal was a fucking happy meal
